Sensible heat is heat exchanged by a body or thermodynamic system in which the exchange of heat changes the temperature of the body or system, and some macroscopic variables of the body or system, but leaves unchanged certain other macroscopic variables of the body or system, such as volume or pressure.

14 paź 2017 · The main difference between latent heat and sensible heat is that latent heat is defined for a system that undergoes a phase change of matter whereas the sensible heat is defined for a system that has no change in the phase of matter.
Sensible heat refers to the heat exchanged by a substance that results in a temperature change without changing its phase. This concept is crucial in various processes, such as heating and cooling, where energy is transferred to or from materials while keeping them in the same state.
Sensible heat is literally the heat that can be felt. It is the energy moving from one system to another that changes the temperature rather than changing its phase. For example, it warms water rather than melting ice.
21 lis 2023 · Sensible heat is heat that can be felt and measured by a thermometer. ''Latent'' literally means ''hidden,'' so latent heat is hidden heat that doesn't result in a...
The sensible heat in a heating or cooling process of air (heating or cooling capacity) can be calculated in SI-units as. h s = cpρ q dt (1) . where . h s = sensible heat (kW) . cp= specific heat of air (1.006 kJ/kg oC) . ρ = density of air (1.202 kg/m3) . q = air volume flow (m3/s) . dt = temperature difference (oC) . Or in Imperial units as.
Sensible heat refers to heat that can be “sensed” by a thermometer or felt by an individual. The temperature of a parcel of air is defined as the average kinetic energy of its molecules. As more energy is added to a parcel of air, the molecules move faster (obtain more kinetic energy), which we interpret as an increase in its temperature.
